I may never be able to go back to eating shitty pizza again. Which now includes Pizza Pizza, Panzarotto, even Domino's.
Tonight I had a whole pizza with kebab and pepperoni. It was just a big pile of meat pieces on top of a slab of mozzarella. The past few days have also seen much in the way of gelato and fusili.
I'm at a hostel in Pisa that has free Internet access and four-hundred-year-old windows. I wanted to go up Il Torre today, but it was all rainy and cloudy so I decided to save it for tomorrow. Fortunately there are other things to do in this little town, such as the cathedral and other museums. I'd been hoping to get in a day in Florence tomorrow, but I've seen plenty of Florence before, so it's not that big a deal.
I spent two and a half days in Rome, seeing some of the usual cliches (the Coliseum, the Forum, the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel) for the second time. I took a tour of the Vatican Museum that skipped the lineup and went straight to all the important stuff, so it was much more enjoyable than last time. Even found time to hit a karaoke night at an Irish pub.
After Pisa, it's two days in Venice. I have generally noticed that as you go further north, the gelato gets even better.
